The tool supports interface of Foresight Analytics Platform 9 or earlier.
The Variables panel is displayed after you have selected the type of calculated optimal control problem on the Problem Type panel. Use this panel to create a list of controlling variables.
Input Variables. This is the list of all input variables of the models included into the chain of the calculated metamodel.
Controlling Variables. The list of variables, which values can be changed in the process of finding a solution until the set restrictions are satisfied and the condition of optimizing the value of the criterion function is met.
To move variables between the lists
To set constraints of the selected variable:
Click the Set Constraints button.
Select the Set Constraints context menu item of the controlling variable.
Double-click the controlling variable.
The Constraints dialog box opens to set constraints.
NOTE. The optimal control problem enables the user to set constraint if the Sequential Quadratic Programming method or the Grid Search method is used.
The dialog box appearance depends on the modeling problem type:
Specify values of the upper and the lower limits of the controlling variable.
NOTE. If the Sequential Quadratic Programming method is applied, the dialog box includes checkboxes that determine whether it is necessary to set the upper and lower limits of the controlling variable.
Specify values of the upper and the lower constraints of controlling variable in the forecasting period. If it is required to weaken the constraint reached on problem calculation, select the checkbox next to the appropriate constraint.
